BMX superstar – Gananoque Children’s Photographer

Here are a few images from a recent session with an 8 year old boy. His mom wanted photos of him, and he decided that he wanted them at the local dirt bike track. I’ll admit that it was a bit of a stretch for me, as I often photograph sleepy newborns on pillows in a studio, or sometimes even adorable toddlers playing outside…. but sports/action isn’t my specialty. Still, I love a challenge, and welcome any opportunity to hone my skills. He was so much fun to hang out with – he did some laps of the track, then he posed, and let me play with my off camera flash (those images turned out to be my favourite!) I think he may be the coolest 8 year old I know.

just so you know, that hill LOOKS small… but I tried to climb it to set my flash for a pose I wanted… it wasn’t so small without a bike!

always love the sunset backlight!

I loved the shadow here, so I played with some tighter cropping to emphasize it.

My fave shot of the day for sure!

His mother said this one looks as if he’s riding along the edge of a cliff on a great adventure.

just look at the determination on his face.
